A young waiter in Lahore has captured the internet’s attention after his striking resemblance to Pakistan cricket captain Babar Azam went viral. The man, who recently moved from his village to Lahore for work, now draws crowds at a local eatery ironically named Rizwan Burger.

Customers frequently stop him for selfies, often addressing him as “Babar” rather than his real name. The viral clip shows him discussing how the attention escalated almost overnight, with locals and visitors alike marveling at the uncanny similarity.

He revealed that relatives had teased him about looking like Babar Azam for years, but he didn’t take it seriously until moving to Lahore, where it quickly became a conversation starter. At his workplace, the nickname has stuck so firmly that even staff members rarely use his actual name.

The video also captures scenes of fans lining up for photos, with the lookalike juggling his duties and the constant attention. Despite trying to focus on his job, he says the selfie requests often interrupt his routine, highlighting the unexpected challenges of viral fame.

When asked about his message to the real Babar Azam, he kept it simple: he hopes to meet him in person. He also expressed confidence in Babar’s future performance, supporting the cricket star while avoiding criticism regarding his recent form.

The story has resonated widely across social media platforms, generating laughter, admiration, and excitement among cricket fans. The lookalike’s fame illustrates how everyday individuals can become internet sensations overnight, simply through a surprising resemblance to a national icon.
